| == The goal of the FusionWiki ==
| | Way to go on this essay, helepd a ton. |
| | |
| The FusionWiki is a specialist wiki for information on [[Nuclear fusion|fusion]] and plasma physics research.
| |
| | |
| There is an enormous proliferation of information on fusion and plasma physics, as a consequence of years of dedicated research in many countries.
| |
| However, this information is mostly contained in specialist journals.
| |
| There is no centralized index providing rapid access to this information in an organized manner.
| |
| | |
| Therefore, the FusionWiki arises as an initiative to provide (Wikipedia-style) short summaries of research topics and issues of interest, with links to the main relevant articles or websites, irrespective of where this information is located.
| |
| | |
| This centralized index function, if supported by a significant fraction of the research community, can develop into an important research tool and help students or other interested parties to find their way in the mass of information.
| |
| | |
| Please check out [[FusionWiki:About|Target audience and proposed content of the FusionWiki]] for more detail.
| |
| | |
| == Contributing ==
| |
| | |
| The FusionWiki is incipient and many pages are mere stubs or require significant improvement;
| |
| worse, most topics still do not have a page.
| |
| If you are active in the fusion field, you are invited to help!
| |
| We would like to suggest that you include a short description of '''fusion-related issues within your field of specialization''', providing appropriate references and links.
| |
| | |
| Do you find this initiative interesting and/or potentially useful?
| |
| Please help us to improve by correcting errors, complementing information, or [[Help:Contents|adding content]].
| |
| | |
| == Browse current pages ==
| |
| | |
| * [[Special:AllPages|List of all pages currently in the FusionWiki]]
| |
| * [[Special:WantedPages|List of pages wanted for the FusionWiki]]
| |
| | |
| == Monitoring page integrity ==
| |
| | |
| Although some anti-spam and anti-vandalism measures are already in place,
| |
| it is necessary to stay vigilant and [[Help:Wiki Spam|monitor and remove unwanted edits]].
| |
| Any help is welcome.
